The Hike & Cheers spirit
This is not a race and it is not a wellness retreat. It is a great walk with space for long lunches, spontaneous conversations, sunset drinks and the kind of laughter that makes a trip unforgettable.
“The best days end with dusty shoes, salty hair and something cold on the table.”
— The Hike & Cheers philosophy
Along the way
From Alentejo's quiet fishing villages to the Algarve's dramatic headlands, each day feels different.
Walk far enough to earn the view. Stop early enough to enjoy it.
